10 Reasons I Won't be Buying an iPhone Anytime Soon

1.) Hullo - $600.00~! For a PHONE! Someone's been smoking crack! Over the span of a two-year contract, an iPhone will cost at least $2,241. Most carriers offer plans that cost half as much.
2.) ATT Cellular Network F.K.A. Cingular has the WORST Customer service in the world and beyond. Though iPhones are not subsidized, AT&T will still apply the standard $175 early termination fee.
3.) iPhone does not work in other countries. I need at least a G3 to use my phone in Europe.
4.) Flat panel will ensure that my makeup will be smudged all over iPhone everytime I take a call. This will turn me into an iPhone cleaning addict and grant me a new nervous tic.
5.) I was an early adaptor of the iPod Nano and could not BELIEVE the scratches - I want to wait and see if the iPhone has similar issues. Later generation iPhones will fix bugs revealed by the massive consumer test that started yesterday.
6.) I really would like to be able to use my iPhone for music, but if I'm at the gym, I shall look completely dorkalicious, trying to plug into it while on the treadmill.
7.) Not happy with various issues that have come so far SIM Card lock to crappy Cingular/ATT discourages consumer's choice. (And you know you WILL be reamed), there are also issues about the iTunes link to the iPhone.
8.) I will be a stellar mugging candidate if I EVER take my iPhone on the Subway to read the Wall Street Journal.
9.) A new version of the iPhone will be released in 6-7 months (most likely after they have fixed the bugs on version 1.0)
10.) Once again, I would sooner sell the souls of my children to the devil than take out a two year contract with Cingular/AT&T. At least the devil plays fair!
